In a few words

The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is the logical next step after the Open Water Diver certification. This course will allow you to expand your skills and dive to a depth of 30 meters. It consists of five adventure dives, two of which are mandatory: deep diving and underwater navigation. The other three are chosen from the specialties offered by the dive center, such as night diving, buoyancy control, wreck diving, fish identification, or underwater photography. Under the guidance of a PADI instructor, you will gain confidence, technical skills, and independence while discovering new dive sites. This fun and enriching course is ideal for taking your diving to the next level.

Finally, remember to allow a minimum of 12 hours between your last dive and any potential flight.
